Understand Your Options!

If your Debts are like water coming in your boat faster than it is going out, Bankruptcy may be the answer.

Filing bankruptcy often involves the needless emotions of fear, shame, blame or guilt. These emotions do not mean filing bankruptcy is not right and what you need to do. Often, bankruptcy is the only way to get your life back on track on a budget you can afford. Read More

Events like fire, flood, and disasters happen. Even the best people can find themselves unable to cover their mortgage payments. If you miss mortgage payments for two months or longer you go into foreclosure. With a foreclosure you face a simple financial decision to keep it or let it go back. We help you properly go down one of two paths. Read More

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can do everything a Chapter 7 can – only better. Chapter 13 has more tools to deal with a wider variety of problems a Chapter 7 can’t solve. A Chapter 13 can ensure a mortgage is caught up over time. It may be you can’t qualify for chapter 7 yet. Perhaps you filed another Chapter 7 less than eight years ago. A Chapter 13 can manage or cure a defaulted secured debt. Read More

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is quick and inexpensive – the process is over in just about four months, and no payments are made to the court. You don’t have to turn in an annual budget or ask permission later to sell or buy property. But there are other reasons to choose chapter 7. Read More

How to File Bankruptcy Without Losing Your Home

For over 30 years, almost every person who has come into my office recognized their family was more important than paying the bank. The mistake most people make is in waiting too long to file bankruptcy with an attorney you can trust. Sometimes debtors trust the wrong attorney who puts you into a Chapter 13 just because Chapter 13 pays him higher attorney fees.

You have to plan a bankruptcy early to get the most benefit and keep from losing assets. People often cash in a retirement they could have kept by filing bankruptcy. Never mortgage your home or cash in a retirement to repay debts you can bankrupt. If you transfer property properly, you may be able to keep it.

Attorneys for the bank or mortgage company will not explain to you how to sue the bank back. Trust the advice from an experienced and qualified lawyer you hire instead of the bank’s attorney. If you plan your bankruptcy properly, you should come out of bankruptcy with more than when you started. For people who like to plan first, I wrote this book for you.
